Listen to the City

Bibliographic Info: Isadora, R. (2000). Listen to the City. Illus. Rachel Isadora. New York, New York: Penguin Group Inc (USA).

Annotation: A book full of sound and color! This is a great book to use for a read aloud because it takes you through a city and all of the noises that can be found there. From babies crying, car horns honking and crowd noise it is fun and exciting.

Genre: Children's Fiction/Picturebook

Grade Level: PK-3

Readers who will like this book: Any child who likes to make noise. Teachers will find this to be a fun read aloud as it keeps children interested while mimicking the sounds.

Personal response: I like the color in this book and it would be a lot of fun to create classroom activities surrounding it. It is not as "in-depth" as some of Isadora's other books, but it certainly follows the likes of 1 2 3 Pop!. I would give this book a 4 for young readers.

A question you would ask before reading: Have you ever stayed absolutely quiet and just listened to the noises outside of your home? What do you hear?
